Overview

Embark on a full-day adventure from Muscat, exploring two of Oman’s highlights: Wadi Bani Khalid and the stunning Wahiba Sands. This tour blends relaxation, culture, and adventure for an unforgettable experience.

Start at Wadi Bani Khalid, a scenic oasis with turquoise pools and palm trees. Swim, walk the trails, or relax by the water (modest swimwear required—men in shorts and t-shirt, women with swimsuit covered by shorts and t-shirt). Capture beautiful photos before enjoying lunch at a local restaurant and tasting authentic Omani flavors.

Then head to Wahiba Sands, a vast desert of golden dunes. Try optional sandboarding, visit a Bedouin home, learn about nomadic traditions, and enjoy Omani coffee or tea. Conclude with a photo stop among the dramatic dunes.

Optional sunset add-on available to witness the magical colors before returning to Muscat.

Wahiba Sands
  • 2h
Wahiba Sands is a desert region that is the part of the Al Sharqiya Sands of Oman. This place will definitely stay memorable for everyone. You'll see the dunes that may reach up to 200 meters and which are created by wind, white and red sands. The unique sunsets, camels and untouchable nature - these are just a small list of things you're going to see and experience.
Wadi Bani Khalid
  • 2h
Wadi Bani Khalid (or Wadi Hayer as it’s also called). It’s literally a paradise that will allow you to refresh after the stuffy desert. Wadi Hayer is an oasis with a sparkling waterfall surrounded by huge rocks and date palms from all sides. The water is crystally clean and transparent here. We should mention that it’s not just a single point — it covers a wide range of near set villages. Tourists also have a chance to get into the caves, but they should be accompanied by the experienced guide.
